Vientiane Fusion TMS 1/100 Meteor Metallrahmen-Modellbausatz

The metal frame gives the kit a satisfying heft once assembled, and the connection points on the arms are surprisingly snug. I spent a good two hours just working on the torso, and every piece clicked into place without needing any sanding.

The metal frame gives this kit a weight and solidity I didn't expect from a 1/100 scale. Panel lining came out crisp, and the plastic took paint without any primer issues. Easily the most fun I've had building a plamo this year.

The inner frame articulation on this 1/100 kit surprised me — the knees and shoulders hold poses without drooping, which is rare at this scale. Panel line detail is sharp enough that I skipped decals on the legs. Took about six hours across two evenings and never felt tedious.
